| Fatah council calls for end to attacks inside Israel |
| 2002-05-30 |
| The revolutionary council of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement echoed his calls for an end to suicide attacks inside Israel yesterday, saying they harmed the Palestinian struggle for a state. "Military attacks inside the Green Line must stop because they reflect negatively on the image of our national struggle," the council said in a document issued after two weeks of internal discussions. The council is the second most important body of Fatah, after the central committee, which represents senior political leaders of Fatah. The document is addressed to Fatah and means that the Aksa Martyrs Brigades have clear orders to stop all terror attacks against civilians inside Israel, Bassam Abu Sharif, an advisor to Arafat told The Jerusalem Post. They've already thumbed their noses at the idea, who why bother? |
